In Ugly Aur Pagli, Mallika Sherawat [Images] was supposed to slap Ranvir 99 times, at various intervals. Apparently, the actress was reluctant. To add to her misery, each slap would have to be re-shot.

But Ranvir, seeing Mallika's discomfort, decided to help out. He started rehearsing how she could slap him from various angles so that it would look real.
